NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 7

King Assassin wrote:I don't see all the Drinkwater hype. 1st of all he's still battling Clifford for the starting position. 2nd he will be the 2nd half option behind Morgan. 3rd he is already priced at 400k and I only see him having an average of 35 max which would leave him around 500k. What do people see in him that I'm missing?

It does a little bit to me with MCK on the bench. Garner the 80 minute man, Lucy will see around 50 minutes whether that's the middle or edge or a combination. He will only see more minutes if in-game injury occurs.
Remember, in 2018 he played two games around origin time and then 3 games at end of season (starting 2nd Row)
Then in 2019, 1 game around origin and 3 games at end of season again.

Not sure that is a good gauge on his likely average over the whole of the season, with week in week out NRL footy.

Is this too Midrange Wasteland?

Api
Hass (C), Carrigan
NBrown, DFifita, JWilliams
Cleary (V), Mann
Capewell, Lomax
Ponga, Papy, Aekins

Drinkwater, Stimson, BBrailey, 1 of below

Luai, Musgrove, Curran, Rudolf, Leleisiuao

Hookers:

Api is good value and set for 80. BBrailey may only be set for 50 minutes to start season. Will pick up Grant if he comes to Tigers. Smith, Cook and McInnes can wait.

Props:

Hass first picked, captain and 13 points better than next best prop. Carrigan with the lock spot beats out an unlucky Knight. Mofo and EseEse the only others to be considered seriously.

Second Rowers:

David Fifita makes the side due to Lodge injury and locked in to start. Nathan Brown is undervalued and could hit mid 50s average. Finished year with average of 54 from last 7 games. Plays round 12 (if not injured).
Jack Williams beats out Hess and Leilua due to more nailed on starter and at lock. Stimson beats out Su'a because I think he plays 80. Should average around 40.

Halves:

Cleary was second picked. KM boost due to being alongside Luai. Mann is at least 10 points underpriced and I have more faith in him to hit 35s than Luai.

Centres:

Last picked was Capewell. If starting second rower should hit 40 average, provided he doesn't miss 12 tackles a game. Only needs to last 6 weeks and I can reassess. Lomax, fullback and GK and cheap. Not sure who else has that upside.
No centre cover but not sure I want another centre.

Fullbacks

Ponga is undervalued, GK, and Knights should rip the Warriors to shreds in Round 1.
Papy, 3rd picked. Must have.
Aekins, cheap fullback in an attacking side. Can break a tackle and will make money.
Drinkwater, cheap, playing at 6 and covers both Fullback and Half if Mann or Aekins or Luai turn to shit.

Picking big things from Musgrove and Rudolf this year.
Curran could also start edge second row for Warriors. With Afoa and Tevaga out to start year Ipap and Blair most likely be used in the middle.

Might just park Mr. Vowel in the 21 waiting for a start on the Titans wing.

It just feels like you have too many middies because you have listed each line of your backs with the middies first, rather than guns first. So seems weak when in reality it’s just a complete and utter shambles and needs to be sorted correctly. Guns > Mids > Cows, or more specifically by price.

Apologies if that sounded abrupt, it’s hard to type on the phone whilst my eyes are twitching.

Seeing him as a close alternative to ya boi Haas. Scores within 7 and it’s a masterstroke.

Do have the cash to turn RCG to Knight/Foto but I’m just getting a good feeling that RCG will have a big year

No Worries wrote:While we are over analising Haas, it would be remiss of me not to point out that all the Broncos games during Ramadan are all after sunset so he will be playing on a full stomach and drinking fluids.

Just another example of the NRL doing everything they can to hand the Broncos a premiership

After the games this weekend there will be a new flavour of the week.
My big concern with Drinkwater is his miss tackles and his negative points that will come with that. Will he get enough attacking stats to counter -8 or so each week.

I have no stats to backup his defense, just going off what i saw at the nines. Will he have Fifita running at him 1st round?
